Congress count on the experts, like CBO and the Trustees, to help us figure out how to best do that.

Americans want, need, and deserve to be able to count on Social Security. And it’s up to Congress to make the changes so they can.

We may not all agree on the best way to make Social Security solvent, but we NEED an ACCURATE picture of Social Security’s financial health

While a plan may be solvent according to the Trustees, it might not even get close if you ask CBO.

With CBO and the Trustees so far apart, it’s hard to know if a Social Security plan will actually make the program solvent...

Last year their estimates of Social Security’s shortfall were over 60% apart. Now they are over 75% apart.

Today, CBO & Trustees look at the same historical data but use different approaches & make different assumptions about the future...

Both CBO & Trustees have looked at Social Security’s finances for yrs. But Trustees & CBO differ on how much trouble Social Security is in

When it comes to Social Security’s solvency, the Social Security Trustees’ estimates aren’t lining up w/ the Congressional Budget Office

Future generations should be able to count on Social Security just like seniors & individuals w/ disabilities do today.
